Ask an expert advisor

Who needs CDs?

It wasn't too long ago you had most of your music collection on disc — heck, maybe even on tapes. But now you've got hundreds or thousands of tunes stored right on your phone, so you don't care if your in-dash player can play CDs or not. Clarion made the FZ502 digital media receiver for everyone who has moved beyond CDs.

Works a lot like your iPod®

Clarion's 7-way rotary control works a lot like an iPod's wheel. You can push, tilt, and turn the wheel to navigate your music library, as you see song info on the two-line display. When you leave the car with your music player, you can slide the built-in protective cover back over the USB slot to keep dust out.

In-dash Pandora® Internet radio

This Clarion lets you tap into the power of Pandora in your car. All you need is your iPhone® and the free Pandora app — just connect to the receiver's USB port, and you can rate songs and change stations from your dash like you do online.

Talk hands-free, stream music

With Bluetooth in your dash, you can keep your eyes on the road while you hear your caller over your speakers. The microphone is embedded in the stereo, so you won't have to install anything extra. And if your phone or another device supports it, you can even stream music straight into the receiver.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Clarion stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Clarion, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

iPod note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Other features and specs:

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Clock, blue tooth, and iPod iPhone controls are easy to configure

Perfect

Since I installed this receiver(with the included adapters/wiring harness') I've been in love. A couple of weeks prior to purchasing this, I replaced all the speakers in my vehicle. The factory receiver just didn't have enough power to push the new speakers, so I found this receiver. There was a huge difference in sound quality and maximum volume. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of both the speakers and this receiver.

Pros:The sound quality is outstanding, and it has every feature you could want. BlueTooth Streaming, USB input, and an AUX input on the front.

Step into the non-physical digital media age

Installation review: 2004 Chrysler Pacifica; replaced standard factory AM/FM/CD. Kept factory speakers FL, FLT, FC, FRT, FR, RL, RR no sub. Purchased car-specific installation kit; bought additional parts to perform splicing (had tools already). Crutchfield instructions great, but twiring instructions supplied with installation kit very poor; names of connectors were reversed, some wires identified as RCA were just +/-, dimmer line did not pass thru amp interface box, poor diagram. Thankfully install was successful. Performance review. Shocked at the significant improvement in sound quality considering I retained the original speakers. A lot more and tighter bass; treble is much less harsh yet more detailed and brilliant. The unit sounds excellent over AUX if your source has a clean headphone amp/driver. However the Bluetooth A2DP streaming is absolutely the coolest thing going. Get in car, turn on the stereo, it pairs with your mobile device automatically. The sound quality over Bluetooth is fantastic. I only rip to .wav format, so I am really pushing the Bluetooth bandwidth. Every once in a while there is a slight dropout/hiccup, but it is always the fault of the source (entering sleep mode, popup reminder, etc.). Have not tried a USB stick, but the USB port will charge your device which is great. The Sound menu is buried way too deep. Clock never displays the time. Dimmer is 2-stage only. Final verdict: Ergonomics need work but audio is beyond reproach.

Pros:Audio quality over Bluetooth and AUX, Bluetooth A2DP music streaming works very well, USB will charge mobile devices, remote control is nifty

Cons:Operating interface is efficient but steep learning curve. Very easy to execute a wrong command...often need to start over. Dimmer is only 2-stage Bright / Medium...never gets truly dim and does not dim in an analog manner like the other car dash lights.

Very well constructed, great sound quality, do your research before buying!! Does not work properly with iOS 6 / iPhone 5 over bluetooth. Clarion has not implemented compatibility with the latest Bluetooth controls which makes the FZ502 little more than a bluetooth speaker with no playback controls or track meta-data. Works like a dream via USB. see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4483. The single knob interface is very fussy and unnecessarily distracting, you will have to use the remote for some functionality - such as checking the time.

Clarion Impresses Again!

I can't remember what it was that turned me onto Clarion, but I bought my first head unit when I was 16, and they've been Clarion without exception for the last 17 year. Granted, that doesn't translate to a mountain of products, but I've always been happy with them. My first head unit survived through totaling 3 cars it was in.

I went with this unit because I don't always have blank CD's anymore, or remember to burn music onto them when I do. I do however always have tons of music on my phone, so it made sense to capitalize on that for me. Not only that, but anyone who travels with me will be able to share their library (should I allow it). I find that the friends I grant control of my stereo to are the same friends I'd take a bullet for.

The single button is a little tricky, and I'm definitely still getting use to it, but the look fits what I like, so it's worth the trouble. Setting the clock was a little difficult, I thought I had a wire mixed up that was resetting the time when I turned my car off, but I noticed the audio settings were sticking, so I figured I did something wrong with the clock and got it straightened out.

I'm also not use to all the finite audio controls. Usually it's been BASS, TREBLE F R L R and that was that. I'm enjoying the new settings as I get them under control.

1998 Honda Civic DX Sedan

Looks very clean and modern. Sound quality is quite good through aftermarket speakers (Kicker rear 6x9, Pioneer 6.5 front). Sound enhancements are reasonable with my liking towards the "Custom" sound setting - this unit allows you to select crossover points and slope. Really neat. One feature that might be too drastic is the fader and L/R balance. Just a minor one step adjustment from "center" is pretty drastic. This unit also features the ability to control(enhance or reduce) even the pre-programmed sound effects! I like that. The one knob control looks good, acts well, feels great, but also makes for getting to what you want to change pretty tedious. Also, if you happen to bump it up or down, side to side while doing anything in the "Adjustment" section, you song or channel selection could change instantly or go to AUX mode. This will take a slight amount of getting used to for smoother operations.

This is my 3rd purchase from Crutchfields for 3 different cars. I'm VERY pleased with the Master sheet feature and the accessories that make for easy plug and play. Just the standard soldering of wires to harnesses and the rest is really easy. My question to anyone who is wondering if they want to buy from Crutchfields. is: "Why would you buy from anyone else?" Fast and well packaged eco-friendly shipping(peanuts dissolve in water - I use it in the garden); Super friendly instructions and super matched harness and plugs. Installed in 35 minutes.

Pros:Sleek, modern look, nice lighting and "piano-black" looking face. Sliding cover to protect from dust, a nice touch(aux and USB port), easy to operate once it is set up, Good potential Head unit. A lot of features... it is a nice buy at a very fair price.

Cons:The 'one-knob' takes a bit of getting used to - much like the BMW and MB's interior function button/knob. Also, while operating it to adjust, if you mistakenly toggle it up or down, you may revert back to the AUX feature or hear the static of a non functional radio station channel. LOL Takes a bit of getting used to while setting up.

Clarion FZ502

I've had the Clarion FZ502 for about two months now, and I have been happy with it.

Pros:Bluetooth functionality, locking, good-looking

Cons:the unit doesn't respond to the remote until the remote is nearly in front of the unit (i.e., if you're driving and have the remote in your hand, you have to move your hand from its normal position to directly in front of the unit in order for it to respond to the remote).

simplicity at its best

for the money.....great stereo. I wanted a no frills fm receiver that would easily interface with iphone, and thats what the clarion did. Better FM reception than kenwood previously in vehicle, and single chord interface with ipone. no cd, didnt run satellite radio or pandora, but for what i'm using it for, it works great. sound quality is exceptional, even in jeep wrangler.

Pros:simple, no unnecessary frills. great sound, siplistic design and interface.

Cons:display could stand to have more lines, but for the money, its great.

need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If
this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software version or
wait until a newer software update is available.

Built-in Bluetooth

Bluetooth Technology (powered by Parrot): The Clarion FZ502
is equipped with built-in Bluetooth ver. 2.0+EDR (powered by Parrot), allowing
you to make and receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as
stream music wirelessly from your smartphone to the head unit.

Bluetooth Profiles: In order to use Bluetooth wireless
technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to
interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth
Profiles:

Pairing: Before using your Bluetooth enabled device, it must
be paired to the FZ502. You can register up to five Bluetooth enabled
cell-phones with the Clarion head unit (only one paired phone can be
used at a time). The Clarion FZ502 is compatible with most Bluetooth enabled
mobile phones, including the Apple iPhone.

Note: The Clarion FZ502 is not compatible with all
Bluetooth enabled phones or audio players. Visit
Clarion Bluetooth Support for complete list of compatible phones and
players.

Hands-Free Communication: The FZ502 supports Bluetooth
hands-free communication from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. The FZ502 can
be set to automatically answer your incoming calls and mute any music audio to
your vehicle's speakers so you can instantly carry on a phone conversation
hands-free. An integrated front-panel microphone carries on your side of the
conversation while your car's speakers are used to hear the other person. You
can make a call by entering the phone number, selecting a contact from your
Phonebook list, or using the Call History Log of received/dialed/missed calls.

Answering A Call: During an incoming call, the caller's
phone number will be seen on the unit's LCD and a ring-tone will be heard
through your car stereo speakers. You can then manually answer the incoming
call from the head unit's front-panel controls. You can also set the unit to
automatically answer an incoming call within 5 seconds.

Making A Call: You can make a call using the Clarion
head unit's front-panel controls.

Phonebook: You can search for contact names in your
mobile phone's phonebook from the Clarion FZ502 and then make your call.
The head unit can store up to 500 contact numbers.

Call Log: You can also make a call by searching
your mobile phone's call history (Received/Dialed/Missed) from the
Clarion FZ502.

Redial: You can simply redial the last number
dialed with a press of a single button on the head unit.

Integrated Microphone: The Clarion FZ502 features an
integrated front-panel microphone to carry on your side of a conversation during
a Bluetooth phone call. You can adjust the microphone gain (+/-5) for each
paired mobile phone device.

External Microphone (optional): The Clarion RCB-199 (020RCB199,
sold separately) is an external microphone which can be connected to Clarion
FZ502. The RCB-199 external microphone provides better performance in noisy
environments than the integrated microphone found on the front-panel of the head
unit. The microphone features an attached 13.25' cord terminated by a
right-angle male 3.5mm connector which plugs into the microphone input on the
rear-chassis of your compatible Clarion head unit. The microphone also features
an integrated sun-visor clip for mounting the external microphone in your
vehicle. The integrated bracket allows the microphone to swivel left-to-right
and rotate up-or-down.

Wireless Audio Streaming: The Clarion FZ502 also supports
wireless audio playback (AD2P) and control (AVRCP) of a Bluetooth enabled audio
player or smartphone. The FZ502 will be able to control your stored music's
basic playback functions; such as Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, and
Fast-Forward/Reverse. The FZ502 also supports audio streaming of music apps from
your smartphone, but without control or metadata. You will continue to use your
Bluetooth enabled smartphone to view & control streaming music apps. When an incoming call or outgoing call is in
progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be
paused so you can take your call. Once the call is finished, your streaming
music will resume.

Note: The iPhone 5 only offers Bluetooth audio streaming
without control or metadata display.

AM/FM Tuner + SiriusXM Ready

Instant Station Recall (ISR): You can store one radio
station in Instant Station Recall (ISR) memory and recall it from any mode
(except Power Off). Once the ISR station has been recalled, you cannot tune to
another station without first disengaging the ISR function. You can, however,
switch to another source.

Preset Stations: 18 FM station presets and 6 AM station
presets can stored. Stations can be stored manually or automatically.

Preset Scan: Preset scan receives the stations stored in the
unit's preset memory in order. This function is useful when searching for a
desired preset station.

Local Seeking: When Local seeking is turned "On", only those
radio stations with strong radio signal can be received.

HD Radio Ready: With an optional Clarion THD301 HD Radio
tuner (020THD301,
sold separately), you will be able to receive digital AM/FM broadcasts from
local stations where available. This new technology will significantly improve
audio quality and reception, as well as include information such as artist name
and song titles or traffic news, viewable on the receiver's display. The add-on
HD Radio tuner includes iTunes Tagging capability, so if you hear a song on the
radio that you like, you can tag it to download later from the iTunes Store.

Note: HD Radio is the system for digital AM and FM
broadcasting in the U.S. More than 2,000 radio stations are broadcasting
their primary signals in digital HD Radio technology, as a free service. Go
to HDRadio.com to
check for HD Radio stations in your area.

SiriusXM Ready: The Clarion FZ502 comes ready for SiriusXM
programming with access to XM & Sirius Satellite Radio stations. Thanks to its
proprietary SiriusXM Connect port, you can add the optional
SXV200V1 SiriusXM Connect tuner and receive more than 150 channels of
exclusive programming directly from SiriusXM, via the "SiriusXM
All Access" package (subscription required). Visit
SiriusXM.com
for a complete list of subscription options & channel guide. Additional features
of the SXV200 SiriusXM Connect tuner include:

Information such as Channel Name, Artist Name, & Song Title can be
viewed on the head unit's display

Category Search feature lets you search for channels within a certain
genre or category

Up to 18 SiriusXM Satellite Radio station presets

Artist/Song Alert notifies you when your favorite artist or song is
playing

Replay feature lets you pause, fast-forward, or rewind up to 30 minutes
of live content

iTunes Tagging for your connected iPod or iPhone

Channels containing content unsuitable for children can be blocked

Note: SiriusXM Satellite Radio operates on the XM
Network. However, you can easily add this SiriusXM tuner to an existing
Sirius or XM account for a Multi-Radio Discount Plan.

Audio Section

MOSFET Amplifier: The Clarion FZ502 employs a MOSFET (Metal
Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) power amplifier capable of
delivering 45W (Peak) x 4ch of high quality sound with superior linearity & less
distortion than conventional power amps, even with the volume cranked up.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the FZ502
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the FZ502 are as follows:

Magna Bass EX (Extend): The Magna Bass Extend feature does
not adjust the low frequencies like the normal sound adjustment function, but
emphasizes the deep bass frequencies to provide you with a dynamic sound. This
circuit boosts bass at an ultra-low frequency of about 50Hz, creating a rich,
deep, defined bass rather than the muddy, booming bass of a standard loudness
control. What is more, boost levels are dependent on the system volume,
resulting in balanced system response and dynamic bass reproduction.

4ch/2V Preamp Output: The Clarion FZ502 features 4ch/2V RCA
line level outputs (Front/Rear). The unit's rear preamp outputs can be
configured as a dedicated non-fading RCA subwoofer output with a low-pass filter
and level control (+/-6).

Built-in Crossovers: The Clarion FZ502 is equipped with
built-in low-pass and high-pass crossovers.

Low-Pass Subwoofer Filter: The Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
for the subwoofer preamp output will send only the low frequency range
through the preamp outputs to ensure superb performance with a connected
subwoofer. The low-pass filter can be set to 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, or Through
(full-range).

High-Pass Filter: The FZ502 features a High-Pass Filter
(HPF) for the unit's front & rear channels, via speaker-output or
preamp-output. You can adjust the high-pass filter from 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz,
or Through (full-range). The HPF prevents low bass notes from distorting
your front & rear speakers. The high-pass filter setting effects both the
front & rear channels of the head unit.

Beep: The head unit provides an audible beep to
confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

Display Features

Two-Line LCD: The two-line, high
visibility LCD
(with black background and white characters) on the FZ502 allows numbers and characters to
be displayed clearly in almost any lighting condition.

7-Way Rotary Control Dial:
The FZ502 employs a centered 7-way rotary control dial which provides full
control of the digital media receiver and your connected devices.

Illumination Dimmer: The
receiver's display automatically dims to a preset brightness when the vehicle's
headlights are turned on. The wiring harness includes an orange/white lead that
should be connected to the vehicle's parking light circuit in order for the
dimmer feature to operate.

Screen Saver: This unit is provided with a Screen Saver function which
allows you to show various kinds of patterns and characters in the operation
status indication area of the display in a random order. You can turn this
function on or off. If the button operation is performed with the screen saver
function "On", the operation display corresponding to the button operation is
shown for about 30 seconds and then the display returns to the screen saver display.

Mounting: You can install the unit within 30-degrees of
horizontal.

Remote Control

Wireless Remote: The FZ502 comes supplied with a 20-key
infrared wireless remote control (RCX003) for wireless operation of the digital media
receiver and your connected devices. The
remote operates off of a single CR2025 Lithium Cell 3-volt battery.

OEM Remote Ready: The unit also features an OEM steering
wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit to allow you to keep your
vehicle's radio steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC
SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Adapter (541SWIRC,
sold separately); or the optional Metra ASWC Steering Wheel Control Interface
Adapter (120ASWC,
sold separately).
